Variety and Flavor of Ice Cream
Pros:
"Huge selection of ice cream and also vegan ice creams they have there."
"A humongous variety of flavours to choose from."
"Fabtastic looking yummy ice cream. Can very much recommend it."
"This place has quickly become my favourite ice cream shop in London."
"I LOVE this ice cream place. Great assortment of ice creams, good sizes and they always taste good."
"Absolutely awesome chocolate gelato, as good as the best tasted on recent trip to Italy sampling gelato over several weeks."
"Best ice cream in Greenwich!! I love their unique flavours like chocolate chilli, mango chocolate or strawberry chocolate, plus they have many dairy free options!"
Cons:
"The first time I tried one of their ice cream, I didn’t enjoy much the flavour."
"The green apple sorbet was sickly sweet and looked nothing like the one on display once scooped from the bottom of the tub."
"Some of the ice cream flavors looked too fake, with glitter and multiple dyes."
"Tasteless. 5 pound for two scoops and no quality."
"Terrible I have grown up with Icecream in Italy my partner and I we bought two cones double scoops tasteless."
Service and Staff Attitude
Pros:
"Very friendly and attentive staff."
"I visited Dark Sugars last Thursday, evening after dining on Pizza. We all had amazing icecream, served by 2 wonderful women."
"I think this is the best ice cream I've ever had! The staff was nice also."
"The Best Chocolate Store in Greenwich, South London, London, England, UK, Europe (till we are in it...) and the World!"
"Really lovely people running the place very welcoming."
Cons:
"Service was bad, the waiter kept pushing us to order even though we were trying to make up our mind what to get."
"There was a big queue, around 15 min to have an ice cream served that was horrible."
"Unfortunately, one of the shop staff members came across as incredibly rude and unhelpful, which completely soured my visit."
"The service was abysmal - not only was the server with beard and glasses rude but also argued with me when I asked questions about the different flavours."
"Good quality but very poor customer service."
Price and Value
Pros:
"I tried chocolate cherry taste and peach raspberry and both of them were equally excellent! My wholehearted recommendations!"
"Cracking ice cream shop in centre of Greenwich near to the famous indoor Market."
"Just happened to be in the area for a short while whilst on a day out and was enticed by the gelato display in the window, and good job I was too!"
"Absolutely fantastic spot, I'd been meaning to go to Dark Sugars since I saw a review of their hot chocolate on YouTube back in 2018."
Cons:
"I'm not sure if things have changed here or how it's so highly rated but I got to say this was a missive disappointment... it's actually really expensive for what you get."
"Though the portion was a bit smaller and price a bit steep for my fancy."
"Quality is not reflective of the high prices. (£3.95 for a single scoop that doesn’t even fill the cup.)"
"Extremely overpriced chocolates!!! I filled up the SMALLEST bag of mixed chocolates expecting a maximum of £15 - £20 ended up paying £32.50 lol."
"Mediocre ice-cream but expensive."
Ambiance and Shop Presentation
Pros:
"Such a posh looking icecream shop at the heart of the Greenwich town centre."
"This is possibly the best ice cream I have had in years. The shop has so much variety."
"Dark Sugars is a delightful chocolatier offering a wide variety of decadent chocolate treats."
"Welcome to the chocolate paradise!"
"Very clean and organized place."
Cons:
"It was a nightmare to understand the flavours, as most of them don’t have the description and you need to keep asking the flavours."
"Nice looking shop and lots of people queueing. I was suspicious when I saw glitter on the pistachio ice cream."
"Waffles tasted stale, they don't allow to mix flavours like most gelato places."
"The layout of the shop is always frustrating - no queuing system whatsoever and never know where to queue!"
"Display was full of flavours of actual ice cream but when I came inside the shop I was informed that these flavours are display only and I could choose only from 10 flavours."
